Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal remained live after the disability office reconsidered its decision and granted the requested relief.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The reconsideration fully satisfied the appellant’s conclusions, so the appeal had become moot and the case had to be removed from the docket.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 53(3) LPGA, an insurer may reconsider its decision before forwarding its response to the appellate court. If the reconsideration grants all the relief sought, the appeal loses its object and the case is struck out.
